Sounds to me like bad wiring is shorting them out. I don't know if too much power or not enough would do this to you..

Also, you're supposed to put a new strainer (filter type thingey) in when you install a new one. Dirt or other debris will get inside and **** the motor. Maybe the fuel tank is full of crud??

Good luck

Clean and flush the fuel tank if there is debris in it. Failure to do so can **** a new pump if enough crap is in there.

BTW, are you certain that it is the fuel pump that is defective?
